Climbing the Amon Klettersteig on Hohes Kreuz (rated C/D) is a demanding and exhilarating experience, reserved for those with good physical fitness, significant arm strength, and a robust head for heights. This via ferrata truly challenges climbers with its exposed sections, vertical ascents, and occasional overhanging parts. You'll navigate steep rock faces equipped with sturdy wire ropes, iron rungs, and ladders, feeling the thrilling exposure high above the valley. The 'D' sections, though brief, will test your endurance and technique. The reward for your effort is truly breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Karnische Alpen. The descent typically follows a less technical hiking trail, allowing for reflection on the challenging ascent. It's an unforgettable alpine adventure for experienced via ferrata enthusiasts seeking a significant challenge.
